McKinley’s Assassination
On September 6th, 1901, anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot President William McKinley twice in the belly. The performance took place in Buffalo’s Temple of Music. Ironically, the president’s secretary was able to persuade him not to go on the trip on two consecutive occasions because he was concerned about this specific occurrence. McKinley died 8 days after the shooting.
